The river was right outside from our private patio. There was a river walk all the way from the motel into town one way and the other way out to lake michigan.It was nice to walk that early in the morning, or later after dinner.Completely safe.It was great that the motel was pet friendly too.. We are sure that our stay there will not be the last.We wii be back.

The stay was good. It is a 60s motel and just a few outlets. Not one in the bathroom. Other than that the setting outside watching the boats go by and a great view of the river.

Great motel!

This motel is really nice and so close to a 5 star. But they need a little more investment in basic stuff like paint and drywall. I'd come back for sure - I just want to see them cross the finish line. Bed was comfortable, room was clean, service was great.
